    Case Number: 20-1203

    The defendant driver's placement of his cane on the driver's seat created a risk that the cane would become lodged on the accelerator level; however, such conduct did not support a claim for punitive damages given the lack of any bad motive evidence. The court granted defendant's preliminary objection.
